I am experiencing a very similar problem on my XP1000
(EV67-666MHz).
the machine hangs after:
aboot: load compressed vmlinuz...
at this point only a power cycle will revive the box
(pressing the reset button has no effect)
I tried to compile a vanilla 2.6.24 from kernel.org
but it failed in the same way.
thanks,
GG
